Hi, I'm looking for details of William Livingston c.1835 Glasgow and Helen Wilson c.1835 possibly Stirling. These are the names on my great grandmother's birth certificate. Her name being Agnes Louisa Livingston b.27th Oct 1872 in Liverpool.
I am interested in find the marriage of William and Helen so i can get possible matches for both of their parents.
Thank you in advance

Where have you looked? If the marriage was in Scotland then only Scotlands People will gave it. If it was in England or Wales then you should find in on freebmd.

You said, "I've looked in Scotlands People as dates are fron 1855. No matches."

You need to look in the Old Parish Registers section for records before 1855.

You can see the original document for 6 credits - but parish registers usually don't give much information. If you're lucky, sometimes fathers' names are given.

Useful to see they travelled south between the births of 1861 and 1863.
